Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-02-15, 23:15:02 (73.71.116.38)
Wine merchant was impressed but had no interest in a trade or purchase. Wish I could find someone who would buy it. Otherwise, it will just sit here. .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-24, 18:15:01 (73.71.116.38)
I think TIDAL has a decent classical library but the search can be truly horrid which is, in some part, due to the ridiculous lack of standards for tagging but that's another story. I find myself tryi .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-24, 18:01:48 (73.71.116.38)
I can't speak for the Halo Integrated but I've found the Halo A52 does expose differences in cables. I was initially using some entry level Kimber cables but have used Blue Jeans for the last year and .......

Thanks for the info. I think I will take your advice and drop by an established wine merchant this weekend and see what they say. Appreciate it. .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-22, 17:21:42 (73.71.116.38)
I am clueless when it comes to anything champagne/wine but was going through some boxes in the basement and found a 1996 Dom Pérignon bottle that was a housewarming gift back in 2001. I assume champa .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-15, 16:27:10 (73.71.116.38)
Thanks for the tip. This Parasound doesn't have those pots like other models unless they are internal. The HCA-855a I had for years had those pots which were a nice feature. I spoke with Parasound sup .......
9: Amp/Preamp Asylum, RE: Will Class D ever become the norm for audiophile components? (0.00)
Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-11, 20:28:50 (73.71.116.38)
If we look at the progress of Class-D in the last few years, I predict super elite amplifiers will be more common at some point. However, moving past the psychological aspects of large and heavy ampl .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2018-01-11, 20:22:09 (73.71.116.38)
I've been using an a52 in a 3.0 setting (2 of the 5 channels go unused) for years. During some trial and error to eliminate a hum, I tried the two unused channels and realized one channel's (#4) outpu .......

I was so enthralled with Crown Season 1, I watched it twice. Scripts are so good and the cinematography stunning. I'll start Season 2 this weekend. .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2017-12-22, 19:53:20 (76.103.248.17)
I don't see how you can go wrong with the Vandersteen. I think they are downright ugly and can take over a room visually but my 2ce Signatures are just amazing so they stay. .......

Posted by Van der Putnam on 2017-12-21, 23:22:59 (76.103.248.17)
80% of my listening is to classical but I'm very narrow minded. I really don't "get" the music of Beethoven or any composer's work before him but feel Bartok, Bax, Debussy, Hindemith, Magnard, Mahler .......

I have listened to 30+ MQA encoded albums via TIDAL (Meridian Explorer 2). I compared it to some 16/44 and high resolution purchases of the same albums. On my system, the differences were minor. I thi .......
